This is the second course of the Calculus sequence. In this course, we
will continue the study of functions in one variable, focusing on
transcendental functions, integration techniques, elementary differential
equations, infinite sequences and series, conics, and polar coordinates.
We will cover chapters 6 to 10 in the following text:

Calculus, 9th edition, by Varberg, Purcell and Rigdon.

To enroll for this course, you must have at least a C grade in Calculus 1 (Math
1210).

The following scale is a guideline for assignment of letter grades. The
final grading scale will be no stricter.

Your grades will be posted on
Blackboard/WebCT,
which can be accessed through the university
website (http://webct.utah.edu).
To log in, use your uNID and password. I will update the grades on a
regular basis. You are responsible for checking the accuracy of your
grades. If you find any mistakes, let me know right away so I can correct
them.

For this class, you will have weekly assignments to be done on the web
using a facility called
WebWork.

WebWork is a web-based homework system designed especially for
mathematics. Its purpose is to give instant feedback as to the correctness
of your answers. If your answer is not correct, you may redo the problem
as many times as needed until the closing date of the assignment.

Every week, I will assign 5 to 15 problems through WebWork. The assignment
will be available on Monday, and its closing date will be the Tuesday of
the following week at 11:59PM. Note that, since WebWork is a computer
program, it will not be possible to submit any answers past the closing
time under any circumstances.

Each problem will be worth 1 to 3 points. WebWork will keep track of your
scores and you will have access to the statistics. Your total on WebWork
assignments will count as 20% of your final grade.

There will be a training assignment for you to adapt to the WebWork
interface. There will be no closing date for this assignment and it will
not affect your grade.

The WebWork interface makes it convenient for you to email questions
regarding specific problems in the assignment. There will be an assistant
in charge of answering these emails. The assistant has a limited time for
this particular class and may not be able to answer your question right
away. You are ultimately responsible for your own assignment,
independently on whether the assistant was able to help you on time. In
order to prevent an overflow of emails, I am enforcing the following
policy: any email sent after 6PM on the closing date of the assignment
will be ignored.

You are expected to be present for all exams. There will be no retakes
under any circumstances. Makeup exams will be given only in case of a
verifiable emergency. In such situations, it is your responsibility to
communicate with me as soon as possible, preferably before the
exam occurs. Talking to me late may be sufficient reason to deny the
request for a makeup.

As with any 4 credit hour math course, you should expect to spend at
least 12 hours per week studying and doing homework, in addition to the 4
hours of lecture. I recommend reading the material to be covered in
lecture before coming to class. Any concerns about the class pace,
material, and homework, as well as any problems preventing you from
performing up to your expectations should be promptly discussed with me.

Quality of work

Anything that you submit should be neat, legible, and clearly written.
Solutions to problems should always include sufficient justification. You
must show enough of your work so that a reasonable person with average
knowledge of the material could logically follow and be convinced by your
argument.

Calculators

You are welcome to use a calculator as you see fit. I encourage you to
learn to use it in an effective manner. However, your calculator will not
be able to pass this class for you. I may or may not allow calculators on
exams.

Email & internet

You will need to have internet access and a valid email address registered
with Campus Information System. I
will regularly send emails to the class and update the course website and
your grades and expect you to be responsible for receiving and monitoring
that information.

Classroom etiquette

I demand respectful behavior in my classroom to me and to fellow students.
Refrain from talking in class and in general avoid behavior that distracts
others. Come to class on time and if you have to be late, try to be as
discreet as possible. No disrespectful behavior will be tolerated under
any circumstance.
